The Fountain is one of two 18-hole golf courses at the Welk Resort San Diego. The other course, the Oaks, is an 18-hole, par-3 course that is great short-game practice for all skill levels. Although the Fountain is an executive-length course, it is as formidable as most full-length golf courses. Even low handicappers will be tested by the narrow layout, which covers a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. In addition to a slew of strategically placed bunkers and trees that demand accuracy, water hazards also come into play on a few holes. There are many risk-reward opportunities throughout the course where good strategy will reap many benefits. The golf course has some tricky holes but it is not overly punishing, making it more approachable for a wide range of skill levels.

Great Golf!!

I've always liked playing at this course. The greens are usually in good shape and divots are normally repaired. The staff is very friendly and you can't forget about the views on a clear day.

A nice Executive course

Fairly well maintained for September... It wasn't as nice as when I had played it in Feb.. For an executive course, it's a pretty good option considering it has multiple short PAR 4s..
